Parsnips, spring dug
Description
Parsnips that were overwintered in the garden and dug when the ground thawed enough to dig them. They not only have that unique parsnip flavor, but have an added sweetness created by the freezing of the root during the winter months they spent in the ground where they grew. We dig all the overwintered parsnips at once as early in the season that they can be dug, then we store them in our cooler to keep them thinking it's still winter. Any left in the ground will soon send up five-foot-tall flower and seed stalks using the stored energy in the roots to make a new generation of parsnips seeds.

Snakeroot Organic Farm began in 1995 and is a MOFGA certified organic farm with five acres of gardens producing mixed vegetables, fruits, perennials and herbs. We are members of and certified organic by MOFGA, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. Our farm is inspected and our practices scrutinized by their inspectors each year. Our certification number is 9411. We are also certified by the Real Organic Project, which goes beyond organic in that it also disallows Confinement Animal Feedlot Operations and the soil-less hydroponic production of vegetables. Tom and Lois have been farming together since 1990, and have over 70 years combined experience growing organically in central Maine. We also sell at our farm in Pittsfield and attend the Pittsfield Farmers’ Market, Orono Farmers’ Market, and the Waterville Farmers’ Markets.
